Public bug reported:

With trusty, /bin/ping relies on having extended attributes and kernel
capabilities to gain the cap_net_raw+p capability. This allows removing
the suid bit.

However, the tarball cloud images do not preserve the extended
attributes, and thus /bin/ping does not work on a system derived from
them.
